Presentation: "Adopting Continuous Delivery"

Time: Thursday 17:20 - 18:10

Location: Bayview

Abstract:
While keeping software production ready throughout its lifecycle and optimizing your delivery process for shorter cycle times might seem like a good idea to you, the rest of your organization might not share your excitement. In this talk, Jez Humble shares stories from companies who have attempted to adopt continuous delivery and discusses the organizational, architectural and process factors that led to the success - or failure - of these initiatives.
